| 12339 | 2001-05-08 10:07:00 | I'm using IE5.5. My modem is connected at 48000bytes/sec. I've just downloaded a 539KB file that began to download at 3.5KB/sec but rapidly fell to 2KB/sec and then fell further away to end up at 582bytes/sec. Can anyone explain to me why the degradation occurs and are there any settings that should be updated to obtain less degradation? Bryan. |

| 12340 | 2001-05-09 07:21:00 | I too would like an answer to this question.My downloads usually start at an indicated 7+ KB/sec., quickly drop through 6 and 5, ticks down more slowly through 4,then after a few minutes stabilizes at around 3.5KB/sec Modem is Speed Com 56K (Rockwell chip, IE 5.5 SP1, win 95. Don't do large downloads but curious about this. John |

| 12341 | 2001-05-09 08:37:00 | ...DITTO...?...anyone...? although i suspect it's too many of us (simultaneously) trying to squeeze 56K down the same length of copper wire, on - let's face it - a system *not* designed for this technology...hmmm. TIP: best download times in New Zealand for large off-shore files (such us Microsoft Upgrades, etc) is after midnight, Local Time. Good speeds may be obtained on 56K Modems. |

| 12342 | 2001-05-09 12:41:00 | at a guess i would ays you are using ie to download. ie usually does this. the download speed is only an average(amount downloaded overall divided by time taken). hence the only real reading is the end one when it has finnished downloading. if u use a ftp downloading app that has a graph of actual download speeds u will see that it varies from 0 to 7k/s constantly. | Guest (0) | ||
